Google Santa Tracker – with Advent Calendar and Games | Free #Android App of the Week
This week’s Between the Kids approved Free Android App of the Week is one that we’re about 13 days late in posting! Next year, we’ll have to remember to use this at the beginning of December, so if you’re late to the game like we are this year, make sure you check out Google’s awesome free app – Google Santa Tracker.
It’s not just a Santa tracker, so don’t let the name fool you! It’s got all kinds of great things to do!
First of all, the coolest thing about this app is that you can access it from your Android device, your computer, AND Chromecast! I love that it’s Chromecast supported so that on Christmas Eve, we can put this on the TV and the kids don’t have to hover over our devices or computer all day to track Santa. Brilliant. (If you don’t have Chromecast, you need to get it! Best $35 you will ever spend.)
I recommend that you visit the site to check out everything it has! The home screen displays a countdown clock so that we can keep up with exactly when Santa will depart (Google knows these things!), but if you click on the little Santa in the upper right corner (in your browser), you’ll find Google’s interactive Advent calendar!
Click on the icon for each day, and it will show you what’s going on at the North Pole. Like today, the 13th, it takes you to the mountain where the elves are delivering letters to Santa! There are also lots of fun games to play and different activities to do on your Android device while waiting for Santa to depart!
Visit the Google Santa Tracker Site or download this app via Google Play now!
My son would get a huge kick out of this. And it would force my husband to be the technology driver for once – I’m always the one offering up my iPhone or iPad to play games! 🙂
What a fun little app. I know it would keep my grandkids occupied.
We always check Google’s Santa tracker…so fun!
What a fun app! We always used to watch the Santa Tracker on the news when my daughter was little. I miss that kind of thing!
I want to play that candy cane pinball game myself! This is a really cute design within the app.
This looks like such a cool app!
That is so cute! I need to have my husband download that on his phone {I don’t have Android or I would, too!}
What a fun app for the holidays!
How neat, I love all the fun apps you can get!!!
What an adorable app. I’ll have to download it on my new Galaxy phone.
Thankfully my husband has an Android phone! This looks like a ton of fun.
That app is so fun, the boys would love tracking Santa.
What a cool app! nOt sure about the price…but looks fun.
So cute! My kids would love it. And I love free! 🙂
How cute! My son deep down thinks there’s no Santa, but wants to believe, so this would be great for him. 🙂
With the “issues” about the Norad tracker this year, this is perfect.
Oh thanks for sharing this, my daughter will love it if it’s available for iOS. going to check now.
Looks like a cool app! I’ll have to download it.
